Organised by Werkstätten- und Kulturhaus (WUK) and Trans Europe Halles (TEH), the conference It’s (about) politics. Performing the emancipatory potential of cultural practice on 6 to 8 May 2016 is an in-depth exploration of what it means for cultural organisations to be political.

The conference is an open invitation to debate and reflect upon the importance of art and culture in a political present characterised by the dynamics of inequality.

In four thematic routes – including more than 30 workshops, lectures, talks, and exchanges of experiences – the conference will address a variety of issues, from contemporary political theory to practice-oriented inputs, along with different approaches to networking and building alliances.
